Help for caravans

Caravans carry gathered goods to your depot, so you don't have to walk them back yourself. They go back and forth along the main roads: 
- Wagons on the ring road, between Greyhearth and Willowdale, by the High Road, the Fellmarch and the Vale Road.
- Basket porters on the Saltway, between Saltwick and the path north to Willowdale.

A caravan is a line of five wagons or five porters, and you can load goods at any of them.

Usage:

  load 
  Hand an item or a whole stack to the caravan.

  load 
  Hand over all your goods of one kind: pouch, hunter, ore, wood or
  fish.

  load all
  Hand over all your gathered goods.

Goods come from your ingredient bag, your carriers and your backpack, and from your pack horse or cart when it is with you. Only gathered goods ride with a caravan: herbs, hides, ore, wood and fish. Gear stays with you.

Fee and delivery

The fee is 1 gold for each item, and a whole stack counts as one item. You pay it first, and without the gold nothing is loaded.

Your goods reach your depot when the caravan reaches the end of its road, whichever end that is. If you are away when it arrives, they go into your depot the next time you play that character. Goods you have loaded can't be taken back.

Your depot holds a set number of each kind of goods, and goods on the road count toward it. Anything that would go past it stays with you, and you are told what. At a depot keeper, depot lists your goods still on the road.

The wagons and porters of a caravan can't be attacked.
